Memphis East running back Brian Kimbrow (Vanderbilt) is the Rivals.com No. 1 Tennessee prospect. Quarterback Will Redmond (Mississippi State) is one of the most recruited players in the south and can make a big play on any snap.

Henry County lost to Hendersonville in the second round of the 5A playoffs in 2010 and in the second round to Gallatin in 2008.

Sumner County has had a team in the championship game the past two seasons and Coach Robert Lassiter has his Gallatin squad ready to get there in 2011 to play Columbia.

Class 6AThought this classification would be easy.

Maryville (10-0) and Riverdale (10-0) would be simple selections to make the state championship game.

However, the two 6A powers were placed in the top bracket and could play on Nov. 25 in the semifinals.

A rematch with Blackman could be a different story than the first meeting between the two schools this season. Blaze running back I'Tavius Mathers (Ole Miss) was injured early in the game and Riverdale took a 28-21 win.

If both teams win on Friday Blackman and Riverdale will meet again the following week. A healthy Mathers could make for a different outcome.

Coach George Quarles could have the best Maryville team he's coached.

Patton Robinette (North Carolina) is a polished quarterback who directs the Rebels attack with near perfection.

The Maryville defense is what has set the defending 6A champions aside in 2011.

Although, Maryville isn't playing the competition weekly that Riverdale does.

All that being said, Maryville should come out of the upper bracket and play for another state title.

Whitehaven is loaded in talent and speed and Coach Rodney Saulsberry is focused on getting the Tigers into the state championship game.

Like Maryville, Whitehaven's defense is special. The Tigers have had six shutouts and two games where the defense allowed only one touchdown in each.

Mt. Juilet is good with a capital "G."

Coach Roger Perry has his Golden Bears on track to make it to the championship game.
